"Jessica- the Owner- came to my house to give me an estimate for clearing my front yard, installing landscaping fabric to prevent weeds, removing old bushes, planting new bushes, and finishing with a new landscaping design, including plants, mulch, and pea pebbles. I also had her crew trim a Crepe Myrtle Tree that was over 2 stories high. Jessica and her crew finished the entire project in 1 day! Some of her crew worked for more that 12 hours, until the yard was completely finished in only 1 day!! The crew Within hours of the yard being completely done, several of my neighbors came over, and they all really liked the design of the yard. I am very pleased with how the yard turned out!! I would definitely highly recommend Jessica and her company, A Woman Can Landscaping and Gardening."

"Mr. Riddick was very professional. He spread 2 loads of sand in areas that were low and uneven; causing water to stand. He also expanded my driveway by digging out and spreading crushed cement. I appreciate the fact that he came 3 days back to back until the job was completed opposed to it being spread over 2 weeks. I plan to get him to come back out to continue the expansion of my driveway."

Landscaping FAQs, answered by experts

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.

Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.

Other projects that you can do at the same time as your trellis include painting the deck , installing a pergola, or adding mulch to your garden beds.

The average cost for landscaping is around $3,500, but prices can range from as low as $200 for simple DIY projects to $14,000 or more for extensive work. Several factors influence the final price, including your geographic location, yard size, project scope, chosen materials, site preparation, and the type of landscaping involved. Professional landscaper labor costs typically range from $50 to $100 per hour.

For a smaller budget, you can focus on softscaping projects like adding mulch, flowers, and shrubs, which might only cost a few hundred dollars if you do the work yourself. A budget of around $5,000 could cover projects like a simple patio, new plants and tree trimming, or a water feature. More extensive hardscaping projects, such as pergolas, patios, and walkways, can push the budget to $14,000 or more. For example, a flower bed installation averages between $800 and $3,000, while landscape lighting installation can cost from $2,000 to $6,000.

If you use the wrong plants for your gardening zone, you’ll likely get less than desirable yields from them. In some cases, your plants can even die. It’s important to ensure that your plants are able to survive in your hardiness zone before getting them into the ground.
